So good that this is already my second.

3/4 months ago, I was looking for a good, fast hard drive with Thunderbolt port to secure her with my iMac, the Time Machine backup, and I came across this board. Price / performance ratio as well as at her Thundeboltkabel already included is very good.
(Yes, the cable is "short". But long enough for normal use but enough).
Every second day made the backup, and because the Buffalo has operated flawlessly in operation today I bought at my photo and film material to secure the second separately.

The time is fast and today there are perhaps hard drives which are more favorable !?
As I did with the Buffalo but so good experiences there was no question for me.
I would recommend the Buffalo HD-PA1.0TU3 EU MiniStation hesitation.
She looks plus chic and 500GB version of the price difference is so small that I then again resorted to 1TB.

An SSD was not for me in question because my hard drives are not in the mobile application and the prices (even with 256GB) are still astronomically high.
I also find the HDD version on Thundebolt rapidly.
In some cases, even to the USB 3 run even faster.
